SolGen prodded to seek Sereno’s ouster

A GROUP is calling on the Office of the Solicitor General to begin Supreme Court proceedings to void the appointment of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, who is already facing an impeachment complaint.

The Vanguard of the Philippine Constitution, led by lawyer Eligio Mallari, argues that Sereno’s appointment was “void from the beginning” because of her failure to submit all of her statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALNs) to the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC).
